Maximum offering of 400,000,000 Shares
BrewBilt Manufacturing, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company,” “BrewBilt,” “we,” “us,” and “our”), is offering up to 400,000,000 shares (“Shares”) of its common stock, par value of $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) on a “best efforts” basis without any minimum offering amount pursuant to Regulation A promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for Tier 2 offerings (the “Offering”). We expect that the fixed initial public offering price per share of Common Stock will be priced between $0.001 to $0.005 per share upon qualification of the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular is a part by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). See “SECURITIES BEING OFFERED” of this Offering Circular for more information.
This is a public offering of up to $2,000,000 in shares of Common Stock of BrewBilt Manufacturing, Inc. at a price between $0.001 and $0.005.
The offering price will be between $0.001 and $0.005. The end date of the offering will be exactly 365 days from the date the Offering Circular is qualified by the Securities Exchange Commission (unless extended by the Company, in its own discretion, for up to another 90 days).
Please be advised that due to the ownership of super voting rights by our management team in the form of Preferred Shares, your voting rights as a common shareholder will be substantially limited.
These securities are speculative securities. Investment in the Company’s stock involves significant risk. You should purchase these securities only if you can afford a complete loss of your investment. See the “Risk Factors” section on page 5 of this Offering Circular.
We expect to commence the sale of these shares within two calendar days of the date on which the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular is qualified by the Securities Exchange Commission.
See “Risk Factors” to read about factors you should consider before buying shares of Common Stock.
Our Common Stock currently trades on the OTC Pink market under the symbol “BBRW” and the closing price of our Common Stock on December 12, 2022 was $0.00025. Our Common Stock currently trades on a sporadic and limited basis.
Please be advised that due to the ownership of super voting rights by our management team in the form of Preferred Shares, your voting rights as a common shareholder will be substantially limited.
Jef Lewis, our chief executive officer and a director owns 1000 shares of Series B Preferred stock; which gives him effective control of our business. Series B Preferred shareholders have voting rights equal to eighty percent (80%) of all votes entitled to be voted at any annual or special meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation or action by written consent of shareholders. Thus, Mr. Lewis possesses significant influence and can elect a majority of our Board of Directors and authorize or prevent proposed significant corporate transactions. Mr. Lewis’ ownership and control of Series B Preferred Stock may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a future change in control, impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination or discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer. Mr. Lewis’ ownership and control of Series B Preferred Stock gives him the control of 80% of the Company’s voting shares regardless of the number of shares sold pursuant to this Offering. If you acquire our Shares, you will have no effective voice in the management of our Company. Such concentrated control of our Company may adversely affect the price of our Shares. Such concentrated control may also make it difficult for our shareholders to receive a premium for their Shares in the event that we merge with a third party or enter into different transactions, which require shareholder approval. These provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for our Shares.
These securities are speculative securities. Investment in the Company’s stock involves significant risk. You should purchase these securities only if you can afford a complete loss of your investment. See the “Risk Factors” section on page 4 of this Offering Circular.

This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this Offering Circular. This summary does not contain all of the information that you should consider before deciding to invest in our Common Stock. You should read this entire Offering Circular carefully, including the “Risk Factors” section, our historical consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, and unaudited pro forma financial information, each included elsewhere in this Offering Circular. Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this Offering Circular to “the Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to BrewBilt Manufacturing, Inc.
Our Company
Located in Grass Valley, CA, BrewBilt Manufacturing, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “BrewBilt” or the “Company”, or by words such as “we,” “us,” “our” or similar) is one of the only California companies that custom designs, hand crafts, and integrates processing, fermentation and distillation processing systems for the craft beer, cannabis and hemp industries using “Best in Class” American made components integrated with stainless steel processing vessels using only American made steel. Less than 1% of the Company’s revenue is derived from producing systems for the cannabis industry. Founded in 2014, BrewBilt has successfully grown its business by closing sales of approximately $350,000 in 2015, $900,000 in 2016, $1,500,000 in 2017, $1,800,000 in 2018, $1,600,000 in 2019, $1,400,000 in 2020 YTD ending September 30. BrewBilt has been built by having strong relationships with local suppliers of raw materials, equipment and services in California, an aggressive referral network of satisfied customers nationwide, and an Advisory Board consisting of successful business leaders that provide valuable product feedback and business expertise to management. All BrewBilt products are designed and fabricated as “food grade” quality which enables the company to build vessels for food & beverage processing, the company is now building systems that are pharmaceutical grade for clients involved in distillation for the cannabis and hemp industries, thus making the revenue potential much greater because pharmaceutical grade products have higher profit margins. BrewBilt buys materials and components mostly from California suppliers which enables them to closely monitor quality, while the company’s revenues are generated from sales to customers throughout the country. The company is aggressively pursuing international orders and has held meetings with the Center for International Trade Development and U.S. Commercial Service to develop international opportunities. Presently, a great deal of sales interest is coming from Mexico, Japan, Europe and Australia. In July of 2016, BrewBilt moved from a small facility in Nevada City, CA to lease an eight thousand (8,000) square foot manufacturing facility in Grass Valley, CA (the “Grass Valley Facility”). The Grass Valley Facility was purchased by Jef Lewis, the Company’s CEO, in January 2018 and upgraded with substantial tenant improvements. Currently, the Company leases the Grass Valley Facility from Jef Lewis for $4,861 monthly. BrewBilt is prepared to expand again by leasing an additional seventy-six hundred (7,600) square feet in the same facility. On January 21, 2020, the Company changed its name from Vet Online Supply, Inc. to BrewBilt Manufacturing, Inc. BrewBilt obtains the majority of its leads through customer referrals and from online marketplaces. The company’s website is being expanded for online sales to include online educational/marketing videos that feature the company and its expanded integrated product line for the cannabis and hemp industries. BrewBilt has also created distribution sales agreements with individuals and companies to represent BrewBilt in both the domestic and international markets.
BrewBilt designs, hand crafts, and integrates processing, fermentation, and distillation processing systems for craft beer, cannabis, and hemp industries using “Best in Class” American made components integrated with stainless steel processing vessels using only American made steel.
Reverse Stock Split
On or about April 20, 2022, the Board of Directors of BrewBilt Manufacturing, Inc. approved a reverse stock split of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a ratio of 1-for-300 (the “Reverse Stock Split”) pursuant to Section 607.10025 of the Florida Business Corporation Act (the “FBCA”).
The Reverse Stock Split became effective at 5:00 p.m. on April 28, 2022 (the “Effective Date”) pursuant to Articles of Amendment to the Article of Incorporation of the Company (the “Articles of Amendment”) filed by the Company with the Secretary of State of the State of Florida on April 20, 2022.
| 1 |
Effects of the Reverse Stock Split
The Reverse Stock Split became effective with FINRA (the “Financial Industry Regulatory Authority”) in the marketplace at the open of business on April 29, 2022 (the “FINRA Effective Date”), whereupon the shares of Common Stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis. In connection with the Reverse Stock Split, the CUSIP number for the Company’s Common Stock changed to 10756L 207.
As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the total number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock held by each stockholder was converted automatically into the number of whole shares of Common Stock equal to (i) the number of shares of Common Stock held by such stockholder immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split, divided by (ii) 300, rounded up (if applicable) to the next whole number. No fractional shares were issued, and no cash or other consideration were paid in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, the Company issued one whole share of the post-Reverse Stock Split Common Stock to any stockholder who otherwise would have received a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.
Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Our shares are covered by section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended that imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouses). For transactions covered by the Rule, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase and have received the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, the Rule may affect the ability of broker/dealers to sell our securities and also may affect your ability to sell your shares in the secondary market.
Section 15(g) also imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell penny securities. These rules require a one page summary of certain essential items. The items include the risk of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary marketing; terms important to in understanding of the function of the penny stock market, such as bid and offer quotes, a dealers spread and broker/dealer compensation; the broker/dealer compensation, the broker/dealers’ duties to its customers, including the disclosures required by any other penny stock disclosure rules; the customers’ rights and remedies in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions; and, the FINRA’s toll free telephone number and the central number of the North American Securities Administrators Association, for information on the disciplinary history of broker/dealers and their associated persons.
Dividends
The Company has not declared or paid a cash dividend to stockholders since it was organized and does not intend to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. The board of directors presently intends to retain any earnings to finance our operations and does not expect to authorize cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any payment of cash dividends in the future will depend upon the Company's earnings, capital requirements and other factors.

Jef Lewis, our chief executive officer and a director owns 1,000 shares of Series B Preferred stock; which gives him effective control of our business. Series B Preferred shareholders have voting rights equal to eighty percent (80%) of all votes entitled to be voted at any annual or special meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation or action by written consent of shareholders. Thus, Mr. Lewis possesses significant influence and can elect a majority of our Board of Directors and authorize or prevent proposed significant corporate transactions. Mr. Lewis’ ownership and control of Series B Preferred Stock may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a future change in control, impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination or discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer. Mr. Lewis’ ownership and control of Series B Preferred Stock gives him the control of 80% of the Company’s voting shares regardless of the number of shares sold pursuant to this Offering. If you acquire our Shares, you will have no effective voice in the management of our Company. Such concentrated control of our Company may adversely affect the price of our Shares. Such concentrated control may also make it difficult for our shareholders to receive a premium for their Shares in the event that we merge with a third party or enter into different transactions, which require shareholder approval. These provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for our Shares.

This offering contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. We generally identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “target,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar words. These statements are only predictions. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our customers’ or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, to differ. “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Business,” as well as other sections in this prospectus, discuss the important factors that could contribute to these differences.
The forward-looking statements made in this prospectus relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
This prospectus also contains market data related to our business and industry. This market data includes projections that are based on a number of assumptions. If these assumptions turn out to be incorrect, actual results may differ from the projections based on these assumptions. As a result, our markets may not grow at the rates projected by these data, or at all. The failure of these markets to grow at these projected rates may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the market price of our Common Stock.
The Current Coronavirus Pandemic May Adversely Affect the Global Economy and the Company’s Operations
As has been widely reported, the emergence of a novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and a related respiratory disease (COVID-19) in China resulted in the spread to additional countries throughout the world, including the United States, leading to a global pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to severe disruptions and volatility in the global supply chain, market and economies, and those disruptions have since intensified and will likely continue for some time. Concern about the potential effects of COVID-19 and the effectiveness of measures being put in place by global governmental bodies at various levels as well as by private enterprises (such as workplaces, trade groups, amateur and professional sports leagues and conferences, places of worship, schools and retail establishments, among others) to contain or mitigate the spread of COVID-19 have adversely affected economic conditions and markets globally, and have led to significant, sustained and unprecedented volatility in the financial markets. Measures implemented in the United States to limit the spread of COVID-19, such as quarantines, event cancellations and social distancing, will significantly limit economic activity. There can be no assurance that such measures or other additional measures implemented from time to time will be successful in limiting the spread of the virus and what effect those measures will have on the economy generally or on the Company.
There can be no assurance that any measures undertaken by the federal government, or by state or local governments, will be effective to mitigate the negative near-term and potentially longer-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on employment, construction and the global economy more generally.
Many businesses have moved to a remote working environment, temporarily suspended operations, laid-off or furloughed a significant percentage of their workforce or shut down completely. Other businesses have transitioned or may in the future transition all or a substantial portion of their operations to remote working environments (as a result of state or local requirements or otherwise in response to the COVID-19 pandemic). Although the Company had already implemented a remote work environment, there is no assurance that the continued remote working environment will not have a material adverse impact on the Company or its customers, which may adversely impact the Company and its operations.
The COVID-19 pandemic did not require the closure of Company operations. The Company suspended in-person client and business development meetings in late March 2020. During the timeframe in which in-person meetings were suspended, Company management reallocated resources to on-line client and business development.

Management’s outlook for the near-term business operations will mirror the overall continued reopening of business operations within the state of California. For the Company to return to pre-COVID-19 levels of operation, it will be necessary businesses across the state of California to be allowed to return to full operations and capacities.
There could be unidentified risks involved with an investment in our securities
The foregoing risk factors are not a complete list or explanation of the risks involved with an investment in the securities. Additional risks will likely be experienced that are not presently foreseen by the Company. Prospective investors must not construe the information provided herein as constituting investment, legal, tax or other professional advice. Before making any decision to invest in our securities, you should read this entire prospectus and consult with your own investment, legal, tax and other professional advisors. An investment in our securities is suitable only for investors who can assume the financial risks of an investment in the Company for an indefinite period of time and who can afford to lose their entire investment.

Risk Related to our Company and our Business
We lack an operating history. There is no assurance our future operations will result in profitable revenues. If we cannot generate sufficient revenues to operate profitably, our business will fail.
We were formed on May 31, 2014 as a corporation engaged in the online sale of its own holistic product line for pets. However, the Company shifted its focus to our current business and on January 21, 2020 changed our name to BrewBilt Manufacturing Inc. We have a limited operating history in our current business upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure can be made. Based on current plans, we expect to generate revenue from sales of our products. However, our revenues may not be sufficient to cover our operating costs. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating significant revenues in the future. Failure to achieve a sustainable sales level will cause us to go out of business.
The Company is an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act. We cannot be certain if the reduced reporting requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our shares of common stock less attractive to investors.
The Company is and will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest to occur of (a) the last day of the fiscal year during which its total annual revenues equal or exceed $1 billion (subject to adjustment for inflation), (b) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of its initial public offering, (c) the date on which the Company has, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt securities, or (d) the date on which the Company is deemed a “large accelerated filer” (with at least $700 million in public float) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.
For so long as the Company remains an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act, it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” as described in further detail in the risk factors below. The Company cannot predict if investors will consider its shares of common stock less attractive because our reliance on some or all of these exemptions. If some investors find the Company’s shares of common stock less attractive as a result, the trading market for its shares of common stock may be less active, and its stock price may be more volatile.
If the Company avails itself of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements, its reduced disclosure may make it more difficult for investors and securities analysts to evaluate the Company and may result in less investor confidence.
| 5 |
The JOBS Act is intended to reduce the regulatory burden on “emerging growth companies”. The Company meets the definition of an “emerging growth company” and so long as it qualifies as an “emerging growth company,” it will not be required to:
| · | have an auditor report on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; |
| · | comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis); |
| · | submit certain executive compensation matters to shareholder advisory votes, such as “say-on-pay” and “say-on-frequency;” and |
| · | disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation. |
We are also currently a “smaller reporting company”, meaning that we are not an investment company, an asset-backed issuer, or a majority-owned subsidiary of a parent company that is not a smaller reporting company and have a public float of less than $75 million and annual revenues of less than $50 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. In the event that we are still considered a “smaller reporting company”, at such time as we cease being an “emerging growth company”, we will be required to provide additional disclosure in our SEC filings. However, similar to “emerging growth companies”, “smaller reporting companies” are able to provide simplified executive compensation disclosures in their filings; are exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that independent registered public accounting firms provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting; are not required to conduct say-on-pay and frequency votes until annual meetings occurring on or after January 21, 2013; and have certain other decreased disclosure obligations in their SEC filings, including, among other things, only being required to provide two years of audited financial statements in annual reports.
Decreased disclosures in our SEC filings due to our status as an “emerging growth company” or “smaller reporting company” may make it harder for investors to analyze the Company’s results of operations and financial prospects.
If we encounter unforeseen difficulties with our business or operations in the future that require us to obtain additional working capital, and we cannot obtain additional working capital on favorable terms, or at all, our business may suffer.
We may encounter unforeseen difficulties with our business or operations in the future that may deplete our capital resources more rapidly than anticipated. As a result, we may be required to obtain additional working capital in the future through bank credit facilities, public or private debt or equity financings, or otherwise. We have not identified other sources for additional funding and cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are required to raise additional working capital in the future, such financing may be unavailable to us on favorable terms, if at all, or may be dilutive to our existing stockholders. If we fail to obtain additional working capital as and when needed, such failure could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, such lack of funds may inhibit our ability to respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated capital needs, or may force us to reduce operating expenses, which could significantly harm the business and development of operations.
Because our independent auditors have expressed doubt as to our ability to continue as a “going concern,” as reported in their report on our financial statements, our ability to raise capital may be severely hampered. Similarly, our ability to borrow any such capital may be more expensive and difficult to obtain until this “going concern” uncertainty is resolved.
We face intense competition in our industry. If we are unable to compete successfully, our business will be seriously harmed.
Our industry is highly competitive and has low barriers to entry. Our competitors vary in size and in the variety of products they offer. Many of our current and potential competitors are well established and have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial and operational resources, and greater name and brand recognition than we have. As a result, these competitors may have greater credibility with both existing and potential customers. These competitors may be able to adapt more quickly to new or emerging industry trends and innovations and changes in customer requirements. They also may be able to offer more products and more aggressively promote and sell their products. Our competitors may also be able to support more aggressive pricing than we will be able to, which could adversely affect sales, cause us to decrease our prices to remain competitive, or otherwise reduce the overall gross profit earned on our products.
| 6 |
The growth of our business depends on our ability to accurately predict consumer trends, successfully introduce new products and improve existing products.
Our growth depends, in part, on our ability to successfully introduce new products and improve and reposition our existing products to meet the requirements of our customers and their needs. This, in turn, depends on our ability to predict and respond to evolving consumer trends, demands, and preferences. The development and introduction of innovative new products involves considerable costs. In addition, it may be difficult to establish new supplier relationships and determine appropriate product selection when developing a new product. Any new product may not generate sufficient customer interest and sales to become a profitable product or to cover the costs of its development and promotion and, as a result, may reduce our operating income. In addition, any such unsuccessful efforts may adversely affect our brand and reputation. If we are unable to anticipate, identify, develop, or market products that respond to changes in requirements and preferences, or if our new product introductions, or new offerings fail to gain consumer acceptance, we may be unable to grow our business as anticipated, our sales may decline and our margins and profitability may decline or not improve. As a result, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
There may be decreased spending on brewing products in a challenging economic climate.
The United States and other countries have experienced and continue to experience challenging economic conditions. Our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected by a challenging economic climate, including adverse changes in interest rates, volatile commodity markets and inflation, contraction in the availability of credit in the market and reductions in consumer spending. In addition, a slow-down in the general economy or a shift in consumer preferences to less expensive products may result in reduced demand for our products, which may affect our profitability. A challenging economic climate may cause a decline in demand for our products, which could be disproportionate as compared to competing brands since our products command a price premium. If economic conditions result in decreased spending on our products and have a negative impact on our suppliers or distributors, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.
We May be Adversely Affected by Labor Disruptions.
Our business depends on our ability to source and distribute products in a timely manner. Labor disputes at factories, shipping ports, transportation carriers, or distribution centers create significant risks for our business, particularly if these disputes result in work slowdowns, lockouts, strikes, or other disruptions during our peak manufacturing and importing seasons, and may have a material adverse effect on our business, potentially resulting in cancelled orders by customers, unanticipated inventory accumulation, and reduced revenues and earnings.
We May Require Additional Funds in the Future to Achieve our Current Business Strategy and our Inability to Obtain Funding may Cause our Business to Fail.
We may need to raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity sales in order to fund our future operations and fulfill contractual obligations in the future. These financings may not be available when needed. Even if these financings are available, it may be on terms that we deem unacceptable or are materially adverse to your interests with respect to dilution of book value, dividend preferences, liquidation preferences, or other terms. Our inability to obtain financing would have an adverse effect on our ability to implement our current business plan and develop our products, and as a result, could require us to diminish or suspend our operations and possibly cease our existence.
Even if we are successful in raising capital in the future, we will likely need to raise additional capital to continue and/or expand our operations. If we do not raise the additional capital, the value of any investment in our Company may become worthless. In the event we do not raise additional capital from conventional sources, it is likely that we may need to scale back or curtail implementing our business plan.
We have a limited operating history in our business lines that you can use to evaluate us, and the likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays that we may encounter because we are a small developing company. As a result, we may not be profitable, and we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to develop as we have planned.
We were incorporated in the State of Florida in 2014. We have no significant assets or financial resources at this time. The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the expenses and difficulties in development of clients nationally and internationally, recruiting and keeping clients and obtaining financing to meet the needs of our plan of operations. Since we have a limited operating history, we may not be profitable and we may not be able to generate sufficient revenues to meet our expenses and support our anticipated activities.
| 7 |
We are an early stage company with an unproven business strategy and may never be able to fully implement our business plan or achieve profitability.
We are at an early stage of development of our operations as a company. We have only recently started to operate business activities and have not generated significant revenue from such operations. A commitment of substantial resources to conduct time-consuming research in many respects will be required if we are to complete the development of our company into one that is more profitable. There can be no assurance that we will be able to fully implement our business plan at reasonable costs or successfully operate. We expect it will take several years to implement our business plan fully, if at all.
Our limited operating history makes it difficult for us to accurately forecast net sales and appropriately plan our expenses.
We have a limited operating history in the manufacturing industry. As a result, it is difficult to accurately forecast our net sales and plan our operating expenses. We base our current and future expense levels on our operating forecasts and estimates of future net sales. Net sales and operating results are difficult to forecast because they generally depend on the volume and timing of the orders we receive, which are uncertain. Some of our expenses are fixed, and, as a result, we may be unable to adjust our spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected shortfall in net sales. This inability could cause our net income in a given quarter to be lower than expected.
Because we are small and do not have much capital, our marketing campaign may not be enough to attract sufficient customers to operate profitably. If we do not make a profit, we will suspend or cease operations.
Due to the fact we are small and do not have much capital, we must limit our marketing activities and may not be able to make our product known to potential customers. Because we will be limiting our marketing activities, we may not be able to attract enough customers to operate profitably. If we cannot operate profitably, we may have to suspend or cease operations.
We expect our quarterly financial results to fluctuate.
We expect our net sales and operating results to vary significantly from quarter to quarter due to a number of factors, including changes in:
| · | Demand for our products; | |
| · | Our ability to obtain and retain existing customers or encourage repeat purchases; | |
| · | Our ability to manage our product inventory; | |
| · | General economic conditions; | |
| · | Advertising and other marketing costs; | |
| · | Costs of creating and expanding product lines. |
As a result of the variability of these and other factors, our operating results in future quarters may be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors.
Our future success is dependent, in part, on the performance and continued service of our CEO. Without his continued service, we may be forced to interrupt or eventually cease our operations.
We are presently dependent to a great extent upon the experience, abilities and continued services of our CEO, Jef Lewis. The loss of his services would delay our business operations substantially.
| 8 |
Because our current CEO has other business interests, he may not be able or willing to devote a sufficient amount of time to our business operations, causing our business to fail.
Jef Lewis, our CEO and director, currently devotes approximately thirty hours per week providing management services to us. While he presently possesses adequate time to attend to our interest, it is possible that the demands on him from other obligations could increase, with the result that he would no longer be able to devote sufficient time to the management of our business. The loss of Mr. Lewis to our company could negatively impact our business development.
If we cannot effectively increase and enhance our sales and marketing capabilities, we may not be able to increase our revenues.
We need to further develop our sales and marketing capabilities to support our commercialization efforts. If we fail to increase and enhance our marketing and sales force, we may not be able to enter new or existing markets. Failure to recruit, train and retain new sales personnel, or the inability of our new sales personnel to effectively market and sell our products, could impair our ability to gain market acceptance of our products.
Our growth will place significant strains on our resources.
The Company is currently in the exploration stage, with only limited operations, and has not generated any significant revenue since beginning work on the new lines of business. The Company’s growth, if any, is expected to place a significant strain on the Company’s managerial, operational and financial resources. Moving forward, the Company’s systems, procedures or controls may not be adequate to support the Company’s operations and/or the Company may be unable to achieve the rapid execution necessary to successfully implement its business plan. The Company’s future operating results, if any, will also depend on its ability to add additional personnel commensurate with the growth of its operations, if any. If the Company is unable to manage growth effectively, the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition will be adversely affected.
As a publicly reporting company, we will continue to incur significant costs in staying current with reporting requirements. Additionally, the lack of an internal audit group may result in material misstatements to our financial statements and ability to provide accurate financial information to our shareholders.
Our directors and other future personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to compliance initiatives to maintain reporting status. Moreover, these rules and regulations, that are necessary to remain as an OTC Markets alternative reporting company, will be costly as an external third-party consultant(s), attorney, or firm, may have to assist in some regard to following the applicable rules and regulations for each filing on behalf of the company.
We currently do not have an internal audit group, and we will eventually need to hire additional accounting and financial staff with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge to have effective internal controls for financial reporting. Additionally, due to the fact that we only have one officer and two Directors, who have minimal experience as an officer or Director of a reporting company, such lack of experience may impair our ability to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, which may result in material misstatements to our financial statements and an inability to provide accurate financial information to our stockholders.
Moreover, if we are not able to comply with the requirements or regulations as an SEC reporting company, in any regard, we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which would require additional financial and management resources.

Risks Related to the Securities Markets and Ownership of our Equity Securities
The Common Stock is thinly traded, so you may be unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all if you need to sell your shares to raise money or otherwise desire to liquidate your shares.
The Common Stock has historically been sporadically traded on the OTC Pink Sheets, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our shares at or near ask prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent. This situation is attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company which is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would be reluctant to follow an unproven company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares until such time as we became more seasoned and viable. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. We cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our common shares will develop or be sustained, or that current trading levels will be sustained.
The market price for the Common Stock is particularly volatile given our status as a relatively unknown company with a small and thinly traded public float, limited operating history and lack of revenue, which could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price. The price at which you purchase our shares may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market. You may be unable to sell your common shares at or above your purchase price, which may result in substantial losses to you.
The market for our shares of Common Stock is characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. The volatility in our share price is attributable to a number of factors. First, as noted above, our shares are sporadically traded. Because of this lack of liquidity, the trading of relatively small quantities of shares may disproportionately influence the price of those shares in either direction. The price for our shares could, for example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of our shares is sold on the market without commensurate demand, as compared to a seasoned issuer which could better absorb those sales without adverse impact on its share price. Secondly, we are a speculative investment due to, among other matters, our limited operating history and lack of revenue or profit to date, and the uncertainty of future market acceptance for our potential products. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-averse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the securities of a seasoned issuer. The following factors may add to the volatility in the price of our shares: actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly or annual operating results; acceptance of our inventory of games; government regulations, announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships or joint ventures; our capital commitments and additions or departures of our key personnel. Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our shares regardless of our operating performance. We cannot make any predictions or projections as to what the prevailing market price for our shares will be at any time, including as to whether our shares will sustain their current market prices, or as to what effect the sale of shares or the availability of shares for sale at any time will have on the prevailing market price.
Shareholders should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (1) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (2) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (3) boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (4) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (5) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities. The occurrence of these patterns or practices could increase the volatility of our share price.
| 10 |
The market price of our common stock may be volatile and adversely affected by several factors.
The market price of our common stock could fluctuate significantly in response to various factors and events, including, but not limited to:
| · | our ability to integrate operations, technology, products, and services; |
| · | our ability to execute our business plan; |
| · | operating results below expectations; |
| · | our issuance of additional securities, including debt or equity or a combination thereof; |
| · | announcements of technological innovations or new products by us or our competitors; |
| · | loss of any strategic relationship; |
| · | industry developments, including, without limitation, changes in healthcare policies or practices; |
| · | economic and other external factors; |
| · | period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results; and |
| · | whether an active trading market in our common stock develops and is maintained. |
In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Issuers using the Alternative Reporting standard for filing financial reports with OTC Markets are often subject to large volatility unrelated to the fundamentals of the company.
Our issuance of additional shares of Common Stock, or options or warrants to purchase those shares, would dilute your proportionate ownership and voting rights.
We are entitled under our articles of incorporation to issue up to 30,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock. We have issued and outstanding, as of the date of this prospectus, 1,692,513,575 shares of Common Stock. Our board may generally issue shares of Common Stock, preferred stock or options or warrants to purchase those shares, without further approval by our shareholders based upon such factors as our board of directors may deem relevant at that time. It is likely that we will be required to issue a large amount of additional securities to raise capital to further our development. It is also likely that we will issue a large amount of additional securities to directors, officers, employees and consultants as compensatory grants in connection with their services, both in the form of stand-alone grants or under our stock plans. We cannot give you any assurance that we will not issue additional shares of Common Stock, or options or warrants to purchase those shares, under circumstances we may deem appropriate at the time.
The elimination of monetary liability against our directors, officers and employees under our Articles of Incorporation and the existence of indemnification rights to our directors, officers and employees may result in substantial expenditures by our company and may discourage lawsuits against our directors, officers and employees.
Our Articles of Incorporation contains provisions that eliminate the liability of our directors for monetary damages to our company and shareholders. Our bylaws also require us to indemnify our officers and directors. We may also have contractual indemnification obligations under our agreements with our directors, officers and employees. The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in our company incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors, officers and employees that we may be unable to recoup. These provisions and resultant costs may also discourage our company from bringing a lawsuit against directors, officers and employees for breaches of their fiduciary duties, and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by our shareholders against our directors, officers and employees even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit our company and shareholders.
| 11 |
Anti-takeover provisions may impede the acquisition of our company.
Certain provisions of the Florida General Statutes have anti-takeover effects and may inhibit a non-negotiated merger or other business combination. These provisions are intended to encourage any person interested in acquiring us to negotiate with, and to obtain the approval of, our board of directors in connection with such a transaction. However, certain of these provisions may discourage a future acquisition of us, including an acquisition in which the shareholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares. As a result, shareholders who might desire to participate in such a transaction may not have the opportunity to do so.
We may become involved in securities class action litigation that could divert management’s attention and harm our business.
The stock market in general, and the shares of early stage companies in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the companies involved. If these fluctuations occur in the future, the market price of our shares could fall regardless of our operating performance. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a particular company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been brought against that company. If the market price or volume of our shares suffers extreme fluctuations, then we may become involved in this type of litigation, which would be expensive and divert management’s attention and resources from managing our business.
As a public company, we may also from time to time make forward-looking statements about future operating results and provide some financial guidance to the public markets. Our management has limited experience as a management team in a public company and as a result, projections may not be made timely or set at expected performance levels and could materially affect the price of our shares. Any failure to meet published forward-looking statements that adversely affect the stock price could result in losses to investors, stockholder lawsuits or other litigation, sanctions or restrictions issued by the SEC.
Our Common Stock is currently deemed a “penny stock,” which makes it more difficult for our investors to sell their shares.
The SEC has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, and the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.
In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person and make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination, and that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.
Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our Common Stock if and when such shares are eligible for sale and may cause a decline in the market value of its stock.
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commission payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stock.
As an issuer of “penny stock,” the protection provided by the federal securities laws relating to forward-looking statements does not apply to us.
Although federal securities laws provide a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by a public company that files reports under the federal securities laws, this safe harbor is not available to issuers of penny stocks. As a result, we will not have the benefit of this safe harbor protection in the event of any legal action based upon a claim that the material provided by us contained a material misstatement of fact or was misleading in any material respect because of our failure to include any statements necessary to make the statements not misleading. Such an action could hurt our financial condition.
| 12 |
As an issuer not required to make reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, holders of restricted shares may not be able to sell shares into the open market as Rule 144 exemptions may not apply.
Under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933 holders of restricted shares, may avail themselves of certain exemption from registration if the holder and the issuer meet certain requirements. As a company that is not required to file reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act, referred to as a non-reporting company, we may not, in the future, meet the requirements for an issuer under 144 that would allow a holder to qualify for Rule 144 exemptions. In such an event, holders of restricted stock would have to utilize another exemption from registration or rely on a registration statement to be filed by the Company registered the restricted stock. Currently, the Company has no plans of filing a registration statement with the Commission.
Securities analysts may elect not to report on our Common Stock or may issue negative reports that adversely affect the stock price.
At this time, no securities analysts provide research coverage of our Common Stock, and securities analysts may not elect to provide such coverage in the future. It may remain difficult for our company, with its small market capitalization, to attract independent financial analysts that will cover our Common Stock. If securities analysts do not cover our Common Stock, the lack of research coverage may adversely affect the stock’s actual and potential market price. The trading market for our Common Stock may be affected in part by the research and reports that industry or financial analysts publish about our business. If one or more analysts elect to cover our company and then downgrade the stock, the stock price would likely decline rapidly. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company, we could lose visibility in the market, which, in turn, could cause our stock price to decline. This could have a negative effect on the market price of our Common Stock.
Our officers, directors and principal stockholders can exert significant influence over us and may make decisions that are not in the best interests of all stockholders.
Jef Lewis, our chief executive officer and a director owns 1,000 shares of Series B Preferred stock; which gives him effective control of our business. Series B Preferred shareholders have voting rights equal to eighty percent (80%) of all votes entitled to be voted at any annual or special meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation or action by written consent of shareholders. Thus, Mr. Lewis possesses significant influence and can elect a majority of our Board of Directors and authorize or prevent proposed significant corporate transactions. Mr. Lewis’ ownership and control of Series B Preferred Stock may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a future change in control, impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination or discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer. Mr. Lewis’ ownership and control of Series B Preferred Stock gives him the control of 80% of the Company’s voting shares regardless of the number of shares sold pursuant to this Offering. If you acquire our Shares, you will have no effective voice in the management of our Company. Such concentrated control of our Company may adversely affect the price of our Shares. Such concentrated control may also make it difficult for our shareholders to receive a premium for their Shares in the event that we merge with a third party or enter into different transactions, which require shareholder approval. These provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for our Shares.
We have not paid cash dividends in the past and do not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any return on investment may be limited to the value of our Common Stock.
We have never paid cash dividends on our capital stock and do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our capital stock in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our capital stock will depend on our earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting us at such time as the board of directors may consider relevant. If we do not pay dividends, our Common Stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if the Common Stock price appreciates.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
The manufacturing of fermentation and distillation processing systems for the craft beer, cannabis and hemp industries is an intensely competitive market.
While there is evidence of strong consumer appeal, we cannot assure you that consumers will continue to embrace using our products. Many factors must be considered when investing in this industry due to regulations set by both U.S. and international committees that oversee the industry. We face significant competition from others in this industry. The manufacturing of fermentation and distillation processing systems for the craft beer, cannabis and hemp industries is highly fragmented with smaller companies offering products to large multi-national corporations, which have large, integrated manufacturing lines. These large corporations can produce a more products. There are many friendly competitors that may not compete directly with our operations but supply us or provide source product for our end product. These companies may in turn help our competitors by providing the same source product for their products.
We may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors.
While many companies compete directly against us for market share, others complement us by providing resource product to produce our end product. Many of our competitors have financial resources that extend far beyond ours, which may adversely affect our ability to compete. We cannot make any assurances to you that we will be successful in our business endeavors if we (a) are unable to compete with a competitor, (b) lose our ability to source product from a competitor or partner, (c) are unable to raise sufficient funds to compete against others, (d) lose our employees to a competitor, or (e) lose advantages over our product offerings against a superior competitor due to price, branding, marketing, and/or distribution power.
We hold no patents on our products, and our business employs proprietary technology (know-how) and information may be difficult to protect and/or infringe on the intellectual property rights of third parties.
The Company currently relies on trade secrets, proprietary know-how, and technology methods that we seek to protect, in part, by confidentiality agreements. We cannot assure you that these agreements will not be breached, that we will have adequate remedies for any breach, or that our trade secrets and proprietary know-how will not otherwise become known or be independently discovered by others. We currently do not hold patents from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) or hold any FDA approvals. Management believes that part of applying for a patent allows competitors to copy our products and would force the company to file lawsuit against the offending parties upon infringement. As a small company, management believes that it is more effective to mitigate this risk by relying on our trade secrets than to file a patent and allow others to review our processes. Therefore, our success depends, in part, on our ability to keep competitors from reverse engineering our products, methods, know-how and maintain trade secrecy and operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of third parties.
We cannot assure you that the patents of others will not have an adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business, that any of our trade secrets and applications will be protected, that we will develop additional proprietary technology (know-how) or methods that is defensible against theft or will provide us with competitive advantages or will not be challenged by third parties.
Interruption of our supply chain could affect our ability to produce or deliver our products and could negatively impact our business and profitability.
Any material interruption in our supply chain, such as material interruption of steel supply due to the casualty loss of any of our steel plants, interruptions in service by our third party logistic service providers or common carriers that ship goods within our distribution channels, trade restrictions, such as increased tariffs or quotas, embargoes or customs restrictions, natural disasters or political disputes and military conflicts that cause a material disruption in our supply chain could have a negative material impact on our business and our profitability. Additionally, our steel is sourced from a wide variety of domestic business partners in our supply chain operations, and in certain cases are produced or sourced by our licensees directly. We rely on these suppliers to provide high quality products and to comply with applicable laws. Our ability to find qualified suppliers who meet our standards and supply products in a timely and efficient manner is a significant challenge, especially with respect to goods sourced from outside the U.S., especially countries or regions with diminished infrastructure, developing or failing economies or experiencing political instability or social unrest, and as we increase our fresh and prepared food offerings. For certain products, we may rely on one or very few suppliers. A supplier’s failure to meet our standards, provide products in a timely and efficient manner, or comply with applicable laws is beyond our control. These issues, especially for those products for which we rely on one or few suppliers, could have a material negative impact on our business and profitability.
| 14 |
Demand for our products could be hindered due to changing conditions within the distribution channels through which we sell our products.
Our sales could suffer based upon market place abnormalities such as retailer, distributor, and/or operator labor strikes. Further, consolidation within the industry could result in operating strategies that are incompatible with our product requirements.
Many of our customers are not obligated to continue purchasing products from us.
Many of our wholesale customers buy from us under purchase orders, and we generally do not have written agreements with or long-term commitments from these customers for the purchase of products. We cannot assure you that these customers will maintain or increase their sales volumes or orders for the products supplied by us or that we will be able to maintain or add to our existing customer base. Decreases in our volumes or orders for products supplied by us for these customers with whom we do not have a long-term contract may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
Changes in relationships with our suppliers may adversely affect our profitability, and conditions beyond our control can interrupt our supplies and alter our product costs.
We cooperatively engage in a variety of promotional programs with our suppliers. We manage these programs to maintain or improve our margins and increase sales. Recently, we have experienced a reduction in promotional spending for new products by our suppliers as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and we may experience further reductions or changes in promotional spending which could have a significant impact on our profitability. We depend heavily on our ability to purchase merchandise in sufficient quantities at competitive prices, and recently we have experienced a higher than anticipated level of vendor out-of-stocks, which may expose us to reduced fill rates with our customers, resulting in higher costs, fees, or penalties, and therefore lower margins. We have no assurances of continued supply, pricing, or access to new products and any supplier could at any time change the terms upon which it sells to us or discontinue selling to us.

Risks Related to the Cannabis Industry and Related Regulations
Cannabis remains illegal under federal law, and therefore, strict enforcement of federal laws regarding cannabis would likely result in our inability to execute our business plan.
Cannabis, other than hemp, is a Schedule I controlled substance under the U.S. Controlled Substances Act of 1970, as amended (the “CSA”). Even in states or territories that have legalized cannabis to some extent, the cultivation, possession and sale of cannabis all remain violations of federal law that are punishable by imprisonment, substantial fines and forfeiture. Moreover, individuals and entities may violate federal law if they aid and abet another in violating these federal controlled substance laws, or conspire with another to violate them, and violating the federal cannabis laws is a predicate for certain other crimes under the anti-money laundering laws or The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. Monitoring our compliance with these laws is a critical component of our business. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that the federal government has the authority to regulate and criminalize the sale, possession and use of cannabis, even for individual medical purposes, regardless of whether it is legal under state law.
For over five years, the U.S. government has not enforced those laws against cannabis companies complying with state law and their vendors. We would likely be unable to execute our business plan if the federal government were to reverse its long-standing hands-off approach to the state legal cannabis markets, described below, and start strictly enforcing federal law regarding cannabis.
On January 4, 2018, then acting U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued a memorandum for all U.S. Attorneys (the “Sessions Memo”) rescinding certain past the DOJ memoranda on cannabis law enforcement, including the Memorandum by former Deputy Attorney General James Michael Cole (the “Cole Memo”) issued on August 29, 2013, under the Obama administration. Describing the criminal enforcement of federal cannabis prohibitions against those complying with state cannabis regulatory systems as an inefficient use of federal investigative and prosecutorial resources, the Cole Memo gave federal prosecutors discretion not to prosecute against state law compliant cannabis companies in states that were regulating cannabis to avoid violating eight federal priorities such as avoiding youth usage. The Sessions Memo, which remains in effect, states that each U.S. Attorney’s Office should follow established principles that govern all federal prosecutions when deciding which cannabis activities to prosecute. As a result, federal prosecutors could and still can use their prosecutorial discretion to decide to prosecute even state-legal cannabis activities. Since the Sessions Memo was issued over two-and-a-half years ago, however, U.S. Attorneys have not prosecuted state law compliant entities.
Former Attorney General William Barr testified in his confirmation hearing on January 15, 2019, that he would not upset “settled expectations,” “investments,” or other “reliance interest[s]” arising as a result of the Cole Memo, and that he does not intend to use federal resources to enforce federal cannabis laws in states that have legalized cannabis “to the extent people are complying with the state laws.” He stated: “My approach to this would be not to upset settled expectations and the reliance interest that have arisen as a result of the Cole Memorandum and investments have been made and so there has been reliance on it, so I don’t think it’s appropriate to upset those interests.” He also implied that the CSA’s prohibitions of cannabis may be null in states that have legalized cannabis: “[T]he current situation … is almost like a back door nullification of federal law.” Industry observers generally have not interpreted Attorney General Barr’s comments to suggest that the DOJ would proceed with cases against participants who entered the state-legal industry after the Cole Memo had been rescinded.
Federal prosecutors have significant discretion, and no assurance can be given that the federal prosecutor in each judicial district where we conduct business will not choose to strictly enforce the federal laws governing cannabis manufacturing or distribution. Any change in the federal government’s enforcement posture with respect to state-licensed cultivation of cannabis, including the enforcement postures of individual federal prosecutors in judicial districts where we conduct business, would result in our inability to execute our business plan.
We believe that the basis for the federal government’s perceived détente with the cannabis industry extends beyond the strong public sentiment and ongoing prosecutorial discretion. Since 2014, versions of the U.S. omnibus spending bill have included a provision prohibiting the DOJ, which includes the Drug Enforcement Administration, from using appropriated funds to prevent states from implementing their medical-use cannabis laws. In USA vs. McIntosh, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit held that the provision prohibits the DOJ from spending funds to prosecute individuals who engage in conduct permitted by state medical-use cannabis laws and who strictly comply with such laws. The court noted that, if the provision were not continued, prosecutors could enforce against conduct occurring during the statute of limitations even while the provision were previously in force. Other courts that have considered the issue have ruled similarly, although courts disagree about which party bears the burden of proof of showing compliance or noncompliance with state law.

While cannabis clients currently generate a nominal percentage of our revenue, our ability to grow our business depends on state laws pertaining to the cannabis industry. New laws that are adverse to our clients may be enacted, and current favorable state or national laws or enforcement guidelines relating to cultivation, production and distribution of cannabis may be modified or eliminated in the future, which would impede our ability to grow our business under our current business plan and could materially adversely affect our business.
Continued development of the cannabis industry depends upon continued legislative authorization of cannabis at the state level. The status quo of, or progress in, the regulated cannabis industry, while encouraging, is not assured and any number of factors could slow or halt further progress in this area. While there may be ample public support for legislative action permitting the manufacture and use of cannabis, numerous factors impact and can delay the legislative and regulatory processes. For example, many states that legalized medical-use and/or adult-use cannabis have seen significant delays in the drafting and implementation of industry regulations and issuance of licenses. In addition, burdensome regulations at the state level could slow or stop further development of the medical-use and/or adult-use cannabis industry, such as limiting the medical conditions for which medical-use cannabis can be recommended, restricting the form in which medical-use or adult-use cannabis can be consumed, or imposing significant taxes on the growth, processing and/or retail sales of cannabis, each of which could have the impact of dampening growth of the cannabis industry and making it difficult for cannabis businesses, including our clients, to operate profitably in those states. Any one of these factors could slow or halt additional legislative authorization of cannabis, which could harm our business prospects.
FDA regulation of cannabis could negatively affect the cannabis industry, which would directly affect our financial condition.
Should the federal government legalize cannabis for adult-use and/or medical-use, it is possible that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”), would seek to regulate it under the Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act of 1938. Indeed, after the U.S. government removed hemp and its extracts from the CSA as part of the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2008, then FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb issued a statement reminding the public of the FDA’s continued authority “to regulate products containing cannabis or cannabis-derived compounds under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (the “FD&C Act”) and section 351 of the Public Health Service Act.” He also reminded the public that “it’s unlawful under the FD&C Act to introduce food containing added cannabidiol (“CBD”) or tetrahydrocannabinol (“THC”) into interstate commerce, or to market CBD or THC products, as, or in, dietary supplements, regardless of whether the substances are hemp-derived,” and regardless of whether health claims are made, because CBD and THC entered the FDA testing pipeline as the subject of public substantial clinical investigations for GW Pharmaceuticals’ Sativex (THC and CBD) and Epidiolex (CBD). The memo added that, prior to introduction into interstate commerce, any cannabis product, whether derived from hemp or otherwise, marketed with a disease claim (e.g., therapeutic benefit, disease prevention, etc.) must first be approved by the FDA for its intended use through one of the drug approval pathways. Notably, the FDA can look beyond the product’s express claims to find that a product is a “drug.” The definition of “drug” under the FDCA includes, in relevant part, “articles intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease in man or other animals” as well as “articles intended for use as a component of [a drug as defined in the other sections of the definition].” 21 U.S.C. § 321(g)(1). In determining “intended use,” the FDA has traditionally looked beyond a product’s label to statements made on websites, on social media, or orally by the company’s representatives.
While the FDA has not yet enforced against the cannabis industry, it has sent numerous warning letters to sellers of CBD products making health claims. The FDA could turn its attention to the cannabis industry. In addition to requiring FDA approval of cannabis products marketed as drugs, the FDA could issue rules and regulations including certified good manufacturing practices related to the growth, cultivation, harvesting and processing of cannabis. It is also possible that the FDA would require that facilities where cannabis is grown register with the FDA and comply with certain federally prescribed regulations. Cannabis facilities are currently regulated by state and local governments. In the event that some or all of these federal enforcement and regulations are imposed, we do not know what the impact would be on the cannabis industry, including what costs, requirements and possible prohibitions may be enforced. If we or our clients are unable to comply with the regulations or registration as prescribed by the FDA, we and/or our clients may be unable to continue to operate our and their business in its current form or at all.

The following Use of Proceeds is based on estimates made by management. The Company planned the Use of Proceeds after deducting estimated offering expenses estimated to be $ 100,000.00. Management prepared the milestones based on four levels of offering raise success: 25% of the Maximum Offering proceeds raised ($500,000), 50% of the Maximum Offering proceeds raised ($1,000,000), 75% of the Maximum Offering proceeds raised ($1,500,000) and the Maximum Offering proceeds raised of $2,000,000 through the offering. The costs associated with operating as a public company are included in all our budgeted scenarios and management is responsible for the preparation of the required documents to keep the costs to a minimum.
Although we have no minimum offering, we have calculated used of proceeds such that if we raise 25% of the offering is budgeted to sustain operations for a twelve-month period. 25% of the Maximum Offering is sufficient to keep the Company current with its public listing status costs with prudently budgeted funds remaining which will be sufficient to complete the development of our marketing package. If the Company were to raise 50% of the Maximum Offering, then we would be able to expand our marketing outside the US. Raising the Maximum Offering will enable the Company to implement our full business. If we begin to generate profits, we plan to increase our marketing and sales activity accordingly.
The Company intends to use the proceeds from this offering as follows:

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and the notes thereto of the Company included in this Offering Circular. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. See “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” above.
Results of Operations
Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2021, as compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2020, and the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022, compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021:
Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2021, compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2020
Revenues:
The Company’s revenues were $774,388 for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to $1,379,580 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease is due to fewer projects being completed and delivered to customers. The company had multiple large orders sold during the year which have longer production times. In addition, the average revenue per job for the customer orders that were completed were lower during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to December 31, 2020. This is due to an increase in pass-through sales rather than jobs that required fabrication.
Cost of Sales:
The Company’s cost of materials was $419,098 for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to $455,360 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in costs in relation to revenue was due to an increase in raw material costs as a result of supply chain issues and the continuing impact of COVID-19. The company also had a higher number of smaller customer orders with low profit margins. COVID-19 related safety measures also resulted in a reduction of manufacturing productivity.
Operating Expenses:
Operating expenses consisted primarily of consulting fees, professional fees, salaries and wages, office expenses and fees associated with preparing reports and SEC filings relating to being a public company. Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were $7,661,953 and $9,905,885, respectively. Although the company had an increase in G&A expenses and salaries and wages in 2021, the decrease in overall expenses was due to a reduction in share-based compensation pursuant to Licensing and Distribution Agreements that were executed in 2020.
Other Income (Expense):
Other income (expense) for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $(4,390,446) and $(7,343,185), respectively. Other income (expense) consisted of gain or loss on derivative valuation, gain or loss on disposal of assets, loss on conversions, debt forgiveness and interest expense. The gain or loss on derivative valuation is directly attributable to the change in fair value of the derivative liability. Interest expense is primarily attributable the initial interest expense associated with the valuation of derivative instruments at issuance and the accretion of the convertible debentures over their respective terms. The variance primarily resulted from the fluctuation of the Company’s stock price which impacted the valuation of the derivative liabilities on the convertible debt.
Net Loss:
Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $11,697,109 compared with $16,324,850 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decreased loss can be explained by the decrease in share-based consulting fees and the decrease in derivative expenses in the year ended December 31, 2021.
| 20 |
Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021
Revenues:
The Company’s revenues were $1,102,141 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $637,143 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase is due to a project in the amount of $957,344 being completed and delivered to BrewBilt Brewing in the second quarter of 2022.
Cost of Sales:
The Company’s cost of materials was $778,325 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $373,544 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase is due to the BrewBilt Brewing job completed in Q2 2022.
Operating Expenses:
Operating expenses consisted primarily of consulting fees, professional fees, salaries and wages, office expenses and fees associated with preparing reports and SEC filings relating to being a public company. Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and September 30, 2021, were $1,401,918 and $1,113,985, respectively. The increase is due to and increase in consulting fees, general and administrative expenses and wages.
Other Expense:
Other expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 was $3,008,597 and $4,866,417, respectively. Other expense consisted of losses on derivative valuation, losses on conversion on preferred stock to common stock and interest expense. The gain or loss on derivative valuation is directly attributable to the change in fair value of the derivative liability.
Interest expense is primarily attributable the initial interest expense associated with the valuation of derivative instruments at issuance and the accretion of the convertible debentures over their respective terms. The increase primarily resulted from a decrease in losses on conversion of debt and the fluctuation of the Company’s stock price which impacted the valuation of the derivative liabilities on the convertible debt.
Net Loss:
Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $4,086,699 compared with $5,716,803 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decreased loss can be explained by the decrease in other expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has a shareholders’ deficit of $16,138,003 since its inception, working capital deficit of $3,085,906, negative cash flows from operations, and has limited business operations, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as going concern. The ability of the Company to meet its commitments as they become payable is dependent on the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing or achieving a profitable level of operations. There is no assurance the Company will be successful in achieving these goals.

| 21 |
The overall working capital (deficit) decreased from $(4,057,343) at December 31, 2020 to $(3,085,906) at December 31, 2021 due to an increase in cash and raw material purchases and a decrease in derivative liabilities and accrued liabilities.
The Company requires additional capital to fully execute its marketing program and increase revenues. Presently we are relying on short term loans from our sole officer and director to meet operational shortfalls. There can be no assurance that continued funding will be available on satisfactory terms. We intend to raise additional capital through the sale of equity, loans or other short-term financing options.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As of September 30, 2022, the Company has a shareholders’ deficit of $14,640,699 since its inception, working capital deficit of $2,473,922, negative cash flows from operations, and has limited business operations, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as going concern. The ability of the Company to meet its commitments as they become payable is dependent on the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing or achieving a profitable level of operations. There is no assurance the Company will be successful in achieving these goals.

The Company requires additional capital to fully execute its marketing program and increase revenues. There can be no assurance that continued funding will be available on satisfactory terms. We intend to raise additional capital through the sale of equity, loans or other short-term financing options.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates, assumptions, judgments, and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.
Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 of our financial statements included in our September 30, 2022 Form 10-Q, published with the SEC on November 14, 2022. While all of these significant accounting policies impact our financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause a material effect on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report.
We recognize revenue on arrangements in accordance with FASB ASC No. 606, “Revenue Recognition”. In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed, and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported therein. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be based upon amounts that differ from these estimates.
Effect of Current Coronavirus Pandemic on the Company’s Operations
As has been widely reported, the emergence of a novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and a related respiratory disease (COVID-19) in China resulted in the spread to additional countries throughout the world, including the United States, leading to a global pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to severe disruptions and volatility in the global supply chain, market and economies, and those disruptions have since intensified and will likely continue for some time. Concern about the potential effects of COVID-19 and the effectiveness of measures being put in place by global governmental bodies at various levels as well as by private enterprises (such as workplaces, trade groups, amateur and professional sports leagues and conferences, places of worship, schools and retail establishments, among others) to contain or mitigate the spread of COVID-19 have adversely affected economic conditions and markets globally, and have led to significant, sustained and unprecedented volatility in the financial markets. Measures implemented in the United States to limit the spread of COVID-19, such as quarantines, event cancellations and social distancing, will significantly limit economic activity. There can be no assurance that such measures or other additional measures implemented from time to time will be successful in limiting the spread of the virus and what effect those measures will have on the Company.

Many businesses have moved to a remote working environment, temporarily suspended operations, laid-off or furloughed a significant percentage of their workforce or shut down completely. Other businesses have transitioned or may in the future transition all or a substantial portion of their operations to remote working environments (as a result of state or local requirements or otherwise in response to the COVID-19 pandemic). Although the Company had already implemented a remote work environment, there is no assurance that the continued remote working environment will not have a material adverse impact on the Company or its customers, which may adversely impact the Company and its operations.
The COVID-19 pandemic did not require the closure of Company operations. The Company suspended in-person client and business development meetings in late March 2020. During the timeframe in which in-person meetings were suspended, Company management reallocated resources to on-line client and business development. The Companies revenues were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company sold fewer products due to a downturn in the general economy. We anticipate revenue returning to 2019 levels in the latter half of 2022.

Company Overview
Located in Grass Valley, CA, BrewBilt is one of the only California companies that custom designs, hand crafts, and integrates processing, fermentation and distillation processing systems for the craft beer, cannabis and hemp industries using “Best in Class” American made components integrated with stainless steel processing vessels using only American made steel. Founded in 2014, the company began in a backyard shop by Jeff Lewis with a vision of creating a profitable company in “Rural America” by hiring excellent personnel, designing and fabricating products to exceed customer’s expectations and compensating craftsmen with living wages and profit sharing to financially sustain their families within the community. Mr. Lewis has 15+ years of experience as a craft beer brewer, a custom tank/vessel designer, fabrication and integration expert and business owner who initially founded Portland Kettle Works, a nationally recognized manufacturer of craft beer brewing equipment located in the Northwest. The Company has grown from 3 employees in 2015 to 10 in 2021.
BrewBilt manufactures equipment for both brewery and cannabis industries, respectively. The equipment is FDA and USDA compliant as manufactured from medical-grade stainless steel. All systems are subject to FDA guidelines.
The company manufactures equipment that is compliant with USDA and FDA regulations as a part of the certification process for qualifying the cannabis product as pharmaceutical grade. Testing laboratories that are DEA and FDA registered can perform potency testing to determine the precise amount of a given cannabinoid in a product that certifies the product as pharmaceutical grade. A number of these laboratories are also accredited hemp testing labs. The producers may request documentation from the registered testing laboratories to verify THC content.
BrewBilt has been built by having strong relationships with local suppliers of raw materials, equipment and services in California, an aggressive referral network of satisfied customers nationwide, and an Advisory Board consisting of successful business leaders that provide valuable product feedback and business expertise to management. The craft brewing & spirits industries continue to grow worldwide. California is where craft brewing began and now has over 900 operating breweries. The Company is centrally located in this booming market and this was a large draw for BrewBilt to locate its manufacturing facility in the Sierra foothills.
All BrewBilt products are designed and fabricated as “food grade” quality which enables the company to build vessels for food & beverage processing, the company is now building systems that are pharmaceutical grade for clients involved in distillation for the cannabis and hemp industries, thus making the revenue potential much greater because pharmaceutical grade products have higher profit margins. BrewBilt buys materials and components mostly from California suppliers which enables them to closely monitor quality, while the company’s revenues are generated from sales to customers throughout the country. The company is aggressively pursuing international orders and has held meetings with the Center for International Trade Development and U.S. Commercial Service to develop international opportunities. Presently, a great deal of sales interest in coming from Mexico, Japan, Europe, and Australia.
BrewBilt competes against a number of companies, most of which are selling mass produced equipment from China made from less costly inferior quality Chinese steel which often is neither food nor pharmaceutical grade quality. While this broader market is extremely competitive, there continues to be little competition and strong market demand for higher quality, custom designed, hand crafted and integrated systems that BrewBilt produces.

Company History
In July of 2016, BrewBilt moved from the small facility in Nevada City, CA to lease an eight thousand (8,000) square foot manufacturing facility in Grass Valley, CA (the “Grass Valley Facility”). This facility was purchased by Jef Lewis, the Company CEO, in January 2018 and upgraded with substantial tenant improvements. Mr. Lewis leases the Grass Valley Facility to the Company for $4,861 monthly. BrewBilt is prepared to expand again by leasing an additional seventy-six hundred (7,600) square feet in the same facility. BrewBilt obtains the majority of its leads through customer referrals and from online marketplaces. The company’s website is being expanded for online sales to include online educational/marketing videos that feature the company and its expanded integrated product line for the cannabis and hemp industries. BrewBilt has also created distribution sales agreements with individuals and companies to represent BrewBilt in both the domestic and international markets.
The former company, Vet Online Supply© no longer continues to engage in the online sale of its own holistic product line for pets. We ceased operations of Vet Online business as of November 1, 2020.
Industry Overview
The craft beer industry offers a value of $94.1 billion in the United States, yet it is still an area of the economy which offers growth potential. As the craft beer market matures, the smaller players are being squeezed out, and the more established breweries are consolidating and gaining market share.
In response to this industry trend, BrewBilt is shifting our marketing focus to larger brewing systems that are in higher demand as these successful breweries expand their production volumes with bigger equipment. These targeted customers are less price sensitive than the small startups and more willing to pay top dollar for the quality and reliability that BrewBilt is known for in the craft beer industry.
BrewBilt systems are engineered for high efficiency and consistency, which are critical factors for regional breweries and microbreweries, which make up for 66% and 19% of US craft beer production, respectively.
There are five distinct craft beer industry market segments: regional brewers, microbreweries, brewpubs, taprooms, and contract brewers.
Essential Craft Beer Industry Statistics
California had the largest output for the craft beer industry in 2020, offering $9.7 billion in total impact. Pennsylvania finished in second during the year, with a $5.6 billion impact. They were followed by Texas ($5.4 billion), New York ($4.9 billion), and Florida ($3.8 billion). The overall beer market in the United States has a value of $94.1 billion. Although the craft beer segment has a 12.3% share of the total beer volume in the country, it represents 23.6% of the total dollar sales that were achieved in 2020. The dollar sales of craft beer products in the United States was down 22% in 2020, which was a result of pandemic sales being shifted from taprooms to retail for at-home consumption. However, on-site sales are already rebounding strongly in 2022. Adults in the United States consume an average of 19.8 gallons of beer each year, according to the National Beer Wholesalers Association. About 36% of registered breweries in the United States are listed as a brewpub. That means the products they create for consumers are meant for direct sales that occur on their premises. The average brewery with this classification will produce about 1,000 barrels of beer each year. 95% of the breweries which are operating in the United States today produced less than 15,000 barrels of beer each year. That classifies the operation as a microbrewery if 75% or more of the beer the company produces is sold off-site. About 40% of the sales that occur each year for the craft beer industry happen during the months of June, July, or August. Almost 90% of adults over the age of 21 in the United States live within 10 miles of at least one brewery. Most of these operations qualify as a craft beer producer. There are more than 950 different craft breweries operating in California right now, making it the largest source of products for the industry today.
Industry Overview
Overall U.S. beer volume sales were down 3% in 2020, while craft brewer volume sales declined 9%, lowering small and independent brewers’ share of the U.S. beer market by volume to 12.3%.
Retail dollar sales of craft decreased 22%, to $22.2 billion, and now account for just under 24% of the $94 billion U.S. beer market (previously $116 billion). The primary reason for the larger dollar sales decline was the shift in beer volume from bars and restaurants to packaged sales.

Craft Beer Industry Trends and Analysis
Although the interest in the craft beer industry is far from gone, the opportunities for growth for new businesses may have already peaked. With thousands of new breweries operating across the United States and around the world, the market is becoming increasingly crowded with multiple products in all economies. Although saturation may still be sometime away, it is inevitable that there will be an increasing level of pullback that occurs as the industry matures.
The amount of deceleration that the craft beer industry experiences will likely be dependent upon how many consumers decide to shift from a macro-brewery to products to items produced by the firms which are able to survive. There is already a steep drop occurring for the largest beverage manufacturers in the sector, which means the most established names and highest quality products have an opportunity to continue growing at an impressive rate.
Industrial brewers have already taken notice of this trend. Anheuser-Busch InBev purchased Goose Island in 2011 for about $39 million, which was their first of numerous acquisitions that are similar. Large companies have numerous ways to push into the market instead of only relying on the pull of consumers.
Even then, we still anticipate a 5-year growth pattern averaging 4% annually through 2024, with the potential to extend that influence through to a 10-year forecast as well. Consumers are asking for better products with more flavor choices today, which means the craft beer industry is in the perfect position to cash in on this trend.

Merger of Simlatus Corporation with BrewBilt Brewing Company
Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”), dated as of April 19, 2021, by and between, Simlatus Corporation, a Nevada corporation (“Simlatus”), and BrewBilt Brewing Company, a Florida corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Simlatus (“BrewBilt Brewing”), effective as of June 7, 2021, Simlatus merged with and into BrewBilt Brewing, with BrewBilt Brewing being the surviving entity (the “Reincorporation Merger”). The Reincorporation Merger, including the Reverse Stock Split and Name Change described below, were approved by the written consent of stockholders owning a majority of the voting power of Simlatus’s capital stock.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and as a result of the effectiveness of the Reincorporation Merger:
| · | Simlatus merged with and into BrewBilt Brewing, with BrewBilt Brewing being the surviving corporation; |
| · | the BrewBilt Brewing/Simlatus domicile changed from the State of Nevada to the State of Florida; |
| · | our name changed from “Simlatus Corporation” to “BrewBilt Brewing Company” (the “Name Change”); |
| · |
Simlatus is now governed by the laws of the State of Florida and by BrewBilt Brewing’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws; and |
| · |
each 150 shares of common stock of Simlatus was converted into and became one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of the common stock of BrewBilt Brewing (the “Reverse Stock Split”). |
The Reincorporation Merger did not result in any change in BrewBilt Brewing headquarters, business, management, location of any offices or facilities, number of employees, federal tax identification number, assets or liabilities (other than as a result of the costs incident to the Reincorporation Merger, which are not material). Management, including all directors and officers, remain the same immediately after the Reincorporation Merger.
The SPA between the Company and BrewBilt Brewing Company remains effective. The Company’s participation in the Strategic Partnership Agreement may have a positive impact on BrewBilt Brewing's performance, which in turn may impact the compensation of Jef Lewis, CEO of BrewBilt Manufacturing and BrewBilt Brewing.
BrewBilt Brewing Company
Mr. Lewis is the Chief Executive Officer of both the Company and BrewBilt Brewing Company (“BrewBilt Brewing”). In addition, the Company and BrewBilt Brewing lease facilities at the same industrial park in Grass Valley, California. However, the Company and BrewBilt Brewing do not share the same offices, and are independent companies with complementary businesses. While the Company is in the business of manufacturing and selling industrial equipment to craft brewers, BrewBilt Brewing is preparing to engage in the business of actually brewing and selling craft beers, including ales and lagers, while continuing to engage in its legacy business that predates Mr. Lewis’ involvement with BrewBilt Brewing. The business plan for both the Company and BrewBilt Brewing include leveraging our respective business expertise and opportunities, which include, where commercially reasonable, the Company acting as a preferred supplier of brewery equipment to BrewBilt Brewing, and prospective customers of BrewBilt Brewing being referred to the Company for the purchase of brewery equipment.
Mr. Lewis’ ownership of BrewBilt Brewing securities consists of shares of common stock of BrewBilt Brewing issuable upon conversion of 93 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of BrewBilt Brewing.

Operating Leases
Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred, if any. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Our lease has a remaining lease term of less than three years.
The Company has elected the practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components as a single component. The lease expense is recognized over the expected term on a straight-line basis. Operating leases are recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets, current operating lease liabilities and non-current operating lease liabilities.
The new standard also provides practical expedients and certain exemptions for an entity’s ongoing accounting. We have elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. This means, for those leases where the initial lease term is one year or less or for which the ROU asset at inception is deemed immaterial, we will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities. Those leases are expensed on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
On January 1, 2020, the Company entered into a standard office lease for approximately 8,000 square feet of space, located in the Wolf Creek Industrial Building at 110 Spring Hill Dr. #10 Grass Valley, CA 95945. The lease has a term of five years, from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2025, with a monthly rent of $4,861.

RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Mr. Jef Lewis, Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board, President, Secretary, and Treasurer
On November 22, 2019, the Company appointed Jeffrey Lewis as the new Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board, Corporate President, Secretary, and Treasurer of the Company. The Company and Mr. Lewis entered into an Employee Agreement that included the issuance of 1,000 Preferred Series B Control Shares, and an annual salary of $200,000. Unpaid wages will accrue interest at 6% per annum and may be converted to restricted common stock at fair market value at the time of conversion.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Mr. Lewis is to receive 500,000 shares of Preferred Series A shares, valued at $5,000,000. The shares are convertible pursuant the conversion rights as specified in the Articles of Incorporation and Certificate of Designation for the Company. As of December 31, 2019, the shares had not been issued, and the Company recorded a liability for unissued shares in the amount of $500, goodwill of $2,289,884 and $2,289,334 to additional paid in capital. On March 1, 2020, the Company issued 500,000 shares of Preferred Series A to Mr. Lewis and $500 was reclassed from liabilities for unissued shares to equity.
On May 22, 2020, Mr. Lewis converted 49,000 Preferred Series A Shares at a price of $10 per share into 70,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $.0077 per share. The conversion resulted in a loss of $49,000 which was recorded to the statement of operations.
On November 20, 2020, Mr. Lewis converted 70,000,000 common shares at a price of $.0018 per share into 54,000 Preferred Series A Shares at a price of $10 per share. The conversion resulted in a loss of $414,000 which was recorded to the statement of operations.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company accrued wages of $200,000, interest of $4,815 and made payments of $113,415.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company accrued wages of $200,000, interest of $2,183 and made payments of $283,324. As of December 31, 2021, the Company owed Mr. Lewis $12,691 in accrued wages and $3,492 in accrued interest.
The Company is periodically advanced noninterest bearing operating funds from related parties. Since December 2018 to the present, the Company has received $35,071 from Jef Lewis. The Company has repaid Mr. Lewis $27,900 and owes Mr. Lewis $7,171.
Mr. Lewis is the Chief Executive Officer of both the Company and BrewBilt Brewing Company (“BrewBilt Brewing”). In addition, the Company and BrewBilt Brewing lease facilities at the same industrial park in Grass Valley, California. However, the Company and BrewBilt Brewing do not share the same offices, and are independent companies with complementary businesses. While the Company is in the business of manufacturing and selling industrial equipment to craft brewers, BrewBilt Brewing is preparing to engage in the business of actually brewing and selling craft beers, including ales and lagers, while continuing to engage in its legacy business that predates Mr. Lewis’ involvement with BrewBilt Brewing. The business plan for both the Company and BrewBilt Brewing include leveraging our respective business expertise and opportunities, which include, where commercially reasonable, the Company acting as a preferred supplier of brewery equipment to BrewBilt Brewing, and prospective customers of BrewBilt Brewing being referred to the Company for the purchase of brewery equipment.
Mr. Lewis’ ownership of BrewBilt Brewing securities consists of shares of common stock of BrewBilt Brewing issuable upon conversion of 93 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of BrewBilt Brewing. Mr. Lewis also holds 500 shares of Series B Preferred Stock of BrewBilt Brewing, each of which entitles him to cast four times the votes of all of outstanding shares of common stock of BrewBilt Brewing. When the 500 shares of Series B Preferred Stock are taken into account, Mr. Lewis accounts for more than 33% of the voting power of the BrewBilt Brewing’s outstanding shares of capital stock.
The Company’s participation in the Strategic Partnership Agreement may have a positive impact on BrewBilt Brewing's performance, which in turn may impact the compensation of Jef Lewis, CEO of BrewBilt Manufacturing and BrewBilt Brewing.

The following summary is a description of the material terms of our capital stock and is not complete. You should also refer to our articles of incorporation, as amended and our bylaws, as amended, which are included as exhibits to the registration statement of which this Offering Circular forms a part.
Common Stock
The Common Stock
We are authorized to issue 30,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value. The holders of Common Stock are entitled to equal dividends and distributions, with respect to the Common Stock when, as, and if declared by the Board of Directors from funds legally available for such dividends. No holder of Common Stock has any preemptive right to subscribe for any of our stock nor are any shares subject to redemption. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, and after payment of creditors and any amounts payable to senior securities, the assets will be divided pro rata on a share-for-share basis among the holders of the shares of Common Stock. All shares of Common Stock now outstanding upon completion of this Offering and conversion of any Preferred Stock, are, and will be, fully paid, validly issued and non-assessable.
Holders of our Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights, so that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voting for the election of directors will be able to elect 100% of the directors if they choose to do so, and in that event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any members to the Board of Directors.
The Company has never paid any dividends to shareholders of our Common Stock. The declaration in the future of any cash or stock dividends will depend upon our capital requirements and financial position, general economic conditions, and other pertinent factors. We presently intend not to pay any cash or stock dividends in the foreseeable future. Management intends to reinvest earnings, if any, in the development and expansion of our business. No dividend may be paid on the Common Stock until all Preferred Stock dividends are paid in full.
Voting
Each holder of our Common Stock is entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Any action at a meeting at which a quorum is present will be decided by a majority of the votes cast. Cumulative voting for the election of directors is not permitted.
Dividends
Holders of our Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors out of funds legally available for payment, subject to the rights of holders, if any, of our preferred stock. Any decision to pay dividends on our Common Stock will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors may or may not determine to declare dividends in the future. See “Dividend Policy.” The Board’s determination to issue dividends will depend upon our profitability and financial condition, and other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant.
Liquidation Rights
In the event of a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company, the holders of our Common Stock will be entitled to share ratably on the basis of the number of shares held in any of the assets available for distribution after we have paid in full all of our debts and after the holders of all outstanding preferred stock, if any, have received their liquidation preferences in full.
| 41 |
Preferred Stock
We are authorized by our Articles of Incorporation to issue a maximum of 30,001,000 shares of Preferred Stock. This Preferred Stock may be in one or more series and containing such rights, privileges and limitations, including voting rights, conversion privileges and/or redemption rights, as may, from time to time, be determined by our Board of Directors. Preferred stock may be issued in the future in connection with acquisitions, financings or such other matters as the Board of Directors deems to be appropriate. In the event that any such shares of Preferred Stock shall be issued, a Certificate of Designation, setting forth the series of such Preferred Stock and the relative rights, privileges and limitations with respect thereto, shall be filed. The effect of such Preferred Stock is that our Board of Directors alone, within the bounds and subject to the federal securities laws and the Delaware Law, may be able to authorize the issuance of Preferred Stock which could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our Company without further action by the stockholders and might adversely affect the voting and other rights of holders of Common Stock. The issuance of Preferred Stock with voting and conversion rights also may adversely affect the voting power of the holders of Common Stock, including the loss of voting control to others.
The Company has no current plans to issue additional shares of any class of preferred stock other than those currently outstanding.
PREFERRED STOCK
The Board of Directors is expressly vested with the authority to divide any or all of the Preferred Stock into series and to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of the shares of each series so established, provided, however, that the rights and preferences of the various series may vary only with respect to:
(a) the rate of dividend;
(b) whether the shares may be called and, if so, the call price and the terms and conditions of call;
(c) the amount payable upon the shares in the event of voluntary and involuntary liquidation;
(d) sinking fund provisions, if any for the call or redemption of the shares;
(e) the terms and conditions, if any, on which the shares may be converted;
(f) voting rights; and
(g) whether the shares will be cumulative, noncumulative or partially cumulative as to dividends and the dates from which any cumulative dividends are to accumulate.
The Board of Directors shall exercise the foregoing authority by adopting a resolution setting forth the designation of each series and the number of shares therein, and fixing and determining the relative rights and preferences thereof. The Board of Directors may make any change in the designations, terms, limitations or relative rights or preferences of any series in the same manner, so long as no shares of such series are outstanding at such time.
Within the limits and restrictions, if any, stated in any resolution of the Board of Directors originally fixing the number of shares constituting any series, the Board of Directors is authorized to increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding) the number of shares of any series subsequent to the issue of shares of such series. In case the number of shares of any series shall be so decreased, the share constituting such decrease shall resume the status which they had prior to the adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of shares of such series.

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
Florida law authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate (with a few exceptions) the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties as directors. Our articles of incorporation and bylaws include provisions that eliminate, to the extent allowable under Florida law, the personal liability of directors or officers for monetary damages for actions taken as a director or officer, as the case may be. Our articles of incorporation and bylaws also provide that we must indemnify and advance reasonable expenses to our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Florida law. We are also expressly authorized to carry directors’ and officers’ insurance for our directors, officers, employees, and agents for some liabilities. We currently maintain directors’ and officers’ insurance covering certain liabilities that may be incurred by directors and officers in the performance of their duties
The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our articles of incorporation and bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. In addition, your investment may be adversely affected to the extent that, in a class action or direct suit, we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to the indemnification provisions in our articles of incorporation and bylaws.
There is currently no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of directors, officers or employees for which indemnification is sought.

BREWBILT MANUFACTURING INC.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2022
(unaudited)
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Description of Business
Located in Grass Valley, CA, BrewBilt is one of the only California companies that custom designs, hand crafts, and integrates brewing, fermentation and distilling systems for the craft beer industry using “Best in Class” American made stainless steel. Founded by Jeff Lewis in 2014 with a vision of creating a profitable company by hiring excellent local craftsmen, designing and building products to exceed customers’ expectations Mr. Lewis now has over 20 years of experience as a craft beer brewer, a custom tank/vessel designer, fabrication and integration expert and business owner who initially founded Portland Kettle Works.
BrewBilt has strong relationships with suppliers of raw materials, equipment, and services globally, in addition an aggressive referral network of satisfied customers nationwide. An Advisory Board consisting of successful business leaders that provide valuable product feedback and business expertise to management. The craft brewing & spirits industries continue to grow worldwide. California is where craft brewing began and now has over 950 operating breweries – being centrally located in this booming market was a large draw for BrewBilt to locate its manufacturing facility in the Sierra foothills.
All BrewBilt products are designed and fabricated as “food grade” quality which enables the company to build vessels for food and beverage processing. BrewBilt buys materials and components mostly from suppliers which enables BrewBilt to closely monitor quality, while the company’s revenues are generated from sales to customers throughout the world a great deal of specific interest in coming from Mexico, Japan, Europe, and Australia.
In July of 2016, BrewBilt moved from the small facility in Nevada City, CA to lease an eight thousand (8,000) square foot manufacturing facility in Grass Valley, CA. This facility was purchased by BrewBilt in January 2018 and upgraded with substantial tenant improvements. BrewBilt obtains the majority of its leads through customer referrals and from online marketplaces. The company’s website has expanded to include online sales and online educational/marketing videos that feature the company and its expanded product line of brewing accessories. BrewBilt has also created distribution sales agreements with individuals and companies to represent BrewBilt in both the domestic and international markets.
On April 20, 2022, the Company approved the authorization of a one for three hundred reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock. The reverse split was effective on April 28, 2022, and the financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to take this into account for all periods presented. The Company issued 8,062 common shares due to rounding in connection with the reverse stock split.
Amendments to Previously Reported Annual Financial Information
The Company’s previously issued financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as included in its Form 10-Q filed on November 15, 2021, have been restated since the Company improperly classified the Series A preferred stock in permanent equity as opposed to liability pursuant to ASC 480-10-25-14(A), since the financial instrument embodies an unconditional obligation to transfer a variable number of shares and the monetary value of such obligation is based solely on a fixed amount known at inception.
Financial Statement Presentation
The audited financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Business Combinations
As per ASC 805-50 a common-control transaction does not meet the definition of a business combination because there is no change in control over the net assets. The accounting for these transactions is addressed in the “Transactions Between Entities Under Common Control”. The net assets are derecognized by the transferring entity and recognized by the receiving entity at the historical cost of the parent of the entities under common control. Any difference between the proceeds transferred or received and the carrying amounts of the net assets is recognized in equity in the transferring and receiving entities’ separate financial statements and eliminated in consolidation. The change in accounting principle is applied retroactively for all periods presented.
| F-7 |
Fiscal year end
The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported therein. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be based upon amounts that differ from these estimates.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of 90 days or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
COVID-19
The Company began seeing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business in early March 2020. The direct financial impact of the pandemic has primarily shown in significantly reduced production from the on-premises channel and higher labor and safety-related costs at the Company’s manufacturing facility. In addition to these direct financial impacts, COVID-19 related safety measures resulted in a reduction of manufacturing productivity. The Company will continue to assess and manage this situation and will provide a further update in each quarterly earnings release, to the extent that the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are then known more clearly.
Revenue Recognition and Related Allowances
The Company recognizes revenue when obligations under the terms of a contract with its customer are satisfied; generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of its products. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring products. If the conditions for revenue recognition are not met, the Company defers the revenue and related cost of sales until all conditions are met. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company has deferred $1,235,438 and $1,104,923, respectively, in revenue, and $699,853 and $880,494 in cost of sales, respectively, related to customer orders in progress. These amounts are recorded as billings in excess of revenues and earnings in excess of billings in the accompanying balance sheets.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are stated at the amount that management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Bad debts and allowances are provided based on historical experience and management’s evaluation of outstanding accounts receivable. Management evaluates past due or delinquency of accounts receivable based on the open invoices aged on due date basis. The allowance for doubtful accounts at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 is $0.
Inventories
Inventories consist of raw materials, work in process and finished goods. Raw materials, which principally consist of raw stainless steel, raw stainless tubing, motors, pumps, and fittings, are stated at the lower of cost, determined on the first-in, first-out basis, or net realizable value. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company wrote off $39,434 in obsolete inventory to the statement of operations. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company has inventory of $186,836 and $147,859, respectively.
| F-8 |
Goodwill
The excess of the cost over the fair value of net assets of acquired in the Merger is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is not subject to amortization, but is reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. An impairment charge would be recorded to the extent the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its estimated fair value. The testing of goodwill under established guidelines for impairment requires significant use of judgment and assumptions. Changes in forecasted operations and other assumptions could materially affect the estimated fair values. Changes in business conditions could potentially require adjustments to these asset valuations.
Capitalized Distribution Fees
The Company records its intangible assets at cost in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. The Company reviews the intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis or if events or changes in circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that they are impaired. These events could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, a decline in operating performance, competition, sale, or disposition of a significant portion of the business, or other factors. If the review indicates the impairment, an impairment loss would be recorded for the difference of the value recorded and the new value. For the periods ended September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no impairment losses recognized for intangible assets. The Company amortizes the capitalized distribution fees over a term of five years in connection with the distribution agreement.
Warranty
The Company is a manufacturer of products which are shipped to our customers directly from the Company. For products that are made from raw materials, the Company offers a 6-year limited warranty. The parts provided by outside vendors as finished goods that are added to a system produced by the Company as components, have a manufacturers’ warranty that is passed on to the end user of the complete system. To date, BrewBilt has spent less than $5,000 over the past 5 years for repairs (under warranty) on products they have built, with most of the costs going to cover travel and lodging expenses. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company has recorded a liability of $5,000 and $5,000, respectively, for warranties, which is included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying balance sheet.
Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses
Accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at amortized cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the fiscal year that are unpaid and arise when the Company becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity. In addition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk including our own credit risk.
In addition to defining fair value, the standard expands the disclosure requirements around fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs is expanded. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. Each fair value measurement is reported in one of the three levels, and which is determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
These levels are:
Level 1 - inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
Level 2 - inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
| F-9 |
Level 3 – inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.
Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
| Input | September 30, 2022 | December 31, 2021 | |||||||||
| Level | Fair Value | Fair Value | |||||||||
| Derivative Liability | 3 | $ | 616,318 | $ | 882,706 | ||||||
| Total Financial Liabilities | $ | 616,318 | $ | 882,706 | |||||||
In management’s opinion, the fair value of convertible notes payable and advances payable is approximate to carrying value as the interest rates and other features of these instruments approximate those obtainable for similar instruments in the current market. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, exchange or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the balances reported for cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities, approximate the fair value because of their short maturities.
Debt issuance costs and debt discounts
Debt issuance costs and debt discounts are being amortized over the lives of the related financings on a basis that approximates the effective interest method. Costs and discounts are presented as a reduction of the related debt in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Income Taxes
The Company records deferred taxes in accordance with FASB ASC No. 740, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and loss carryforwards and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rules on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in operations in the year of change. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is “more likely-than-not” that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
As of the date of this filing, the Company is not current in filing their tax returns. The last return filed by the Company was December 31, 2019, and the Company has not accrued any potential penalties or interest from that period forward. The Company will need to file returns for the year ending December 31, 2021 and 2020, which is still open for examination.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
In accordance with ASC Topic 280 – “Earnings Per Share”, the basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period after giving retroactive effect to the reverse stock split affected on April 28, 2022 (see Note 17). Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Although there were new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the FASB during the nine months ending September 30, 2022 and through the date of filing of this report, the Company does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
| F-10 |
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As of September 30, 2022, the Company has a shareholders’ deficit of $14,640,699 since its inception, working capital deficit of $2,473,922, negative cash flows from operations, and has limited business operations, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as going concern. The ability of the Company to meet its commitments as they become payable is dependent on the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing or achieving a profitable level of operations. There is no assurance the Company will be successful in achieving these goals.
The Company does not have sufficient cash to fund its desired production for the next 12 months. The Company has arranged financing and intends to utilize the cash received to cover ongoing operational expenses. The Company plans to seek additional financing if necessary, in private or public equity offering(s) to secure future funding for operations. There can be no assurance the Company will be successful in raising additional funding. If the Company is not able to secure additional funding, the implementation of the Company’s business plan will be impaired. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to the Company on acceptable terms or at all.
NOTE 3 - PREPAID EXPENSES
Prepaid fees represent amounts paid in advance for future contractual benefits to be received. Contracting expenses paid in advance are recorded as a prepaid asset and then amortized to the statements of operations when services are rendered, or over the life of the contract using the straight-line method.
As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, prepaid expenses consisted of the following:
| September 30, | December 31, | |||||||
| 2022 | 2021 | |||||||
| Prepaid advertising expenses | $ | 985,150 | $ | – | ||||
| Prepaid insurance expenses | 20,599 | 8,217 | ||||||
| Prepaid consulting expenses | – | 40,000 | ||||||
| $ | 1,005,749 | $ | 48,217 | |||||
On September 15, 2021, Bennett Buchanan was appointed to serve as a director of BrewBilt Manufacturing, Inc. In connection with Mr. Buchanan’s appointment, the Company agreed to repurchase 10,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock from Mr. Buchanan issued to him under his Consulting Agreement dated January 1, 2021, for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000, payable in five installments of $20,000 each over the six month period following his appointment as a director. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the company recorded payments of $40,000 in connection with this agreement. It recognized $80,000 in consulting fees in 2021 and $20,000 was recognized in the first quarter of 2022.
On June 10, 2022, the Company agreed to modify the IP Purchase and License Agreement with Maguire and Associates, LLC, dated October 15, 2020. Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company agreed to issue an additional 200,000 Preferred Series A shares, valued at $2,000,000, and in return, Maguire and Associates agrees to take full responsibility for outstanding, unpaid advertising fees and all future advertising costs in the USA for the next 24 months. The Company recorded $1,000,000 in prepaid expenses and recorded $1,000,000 in non-current assets on the balance sheet. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, Maguire & Associates paid $14,850 in advertising expenses which was reclassified to the statement of operations.
| F-11 |
NOTE 4 – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment consisted of the following at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:
| September 30, | December 31, | |||||||
| 2022 | 2021 | |||||||
| Computer Equipment | $ | 23,876 | $ | 23,876 | ||||

| Less accumulated depreciation | (307,888 | ) | (274,447 | ) | ||||
| $ | 208,308 | $ | 249,208 | |||||
During the year ended December 31, 2021, the company recorded fixed assets additions of $276,035 and fixed asset proceeds of $90,746. Depreciation and amortization expenses of $40,900 and $30,691 were recorded to the statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
NOTE 5 – LEASES
The Company adopted the new lease guidance effective January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition approach, applying the new standard to all of its leases existing at the date of initial application which is the effective date of adoption. Consequently, financial information will not be updated, and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019. We elected the package of practical expedients which permits us to not reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (3) any initial direct costs for any existing leases as of the effective date. We did not elect the hindsight practical expedient which permits entities to use hindsight in determining the lease term and assessing impairment. The adoption of the lease standard did not change our previously reported consolidated statements of operations and did not result in a cumulative catch-up adjustment to opening equity.
The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As such, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. In calculating the present value of the lease payments, the Company elected to utilize its incremental borrowing rate based on the remaining lease terms as of the January 1, 2019 adoption date.
Operating Leases
Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred, if any. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Our lease has a remaining lease term of 3.25 years.
| F-12 |
The Company has elected the practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components as a single component. The lease expense is recognized over the expected term on a straight-line basis. Operating leases are recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets, current operating lease liabilities and non-current operating lease liabilities.
The new standard also provides practical expedients and certain exemptions for an entity’s ongoing accounting. We have elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. This means, for those leases where the initial lease term is one year or less or for which the ROU asset at inception is deemed immaterial, we will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities. Those leases are expensed on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
On January 1, 2020, the Company entered into a standard office lease for approximately 8,000 square feet of space, located in the Wolf Creek Industrial Building at 110 Spring Hill Dr. #10 Grass Valley, CA 95945. The lease has a term of five years, from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2025, with a monthly rent of $4,861.
As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, ROU assets and lease liabilities related to our operating lease is as follows:
| September 30, | December 31, | |||||||
| 2022 | 2021 | |||||||
| Right-of-use assets | $ | 169,805 | $ | 203,991 | ||||
| Current operating lease liabilities | 48,350 | 45,970 | ||||||
| Non-current operating lease liabilities | 121,455 | 158,021 | ||||||
The following is a schedule, by years, of future minimum lease payments required under the operating lease:
| Years Ending | ||||
| December 31, | Operating Lease | |||
| 2022 | $ | 14,584 | ||
| 2023 | 58,334 | |||
| 2024 | 58,334 | |||
| 2025 | 58,335 | |||
| Total | 189,587 | |||
| Less imputed interest | 19,782 | |||
| Total liability | $ | 169,805 | ||
NOTE 6 – INTANGIBLES
On August 20, 2021, the company entered into an Exclusive Distribution Agreement with South Pacific Traders Oy. Pursuant to the agreement, the company will issue 50,000 Series A Convertible Preferred stock at $10 per share.

To the shareholders and the board of directors of BrewBilt Manufacturing, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of BrewBilt Manufacturing, Inc. as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company’s significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Description of Business
Located in Grass Valley, CA, BrewBilt is one of the only California companies that custom designs, hand crafts, and integrates brewing, fermentation and distilling systems for the craft beer industry using “Best in Class” American made stainless steel. Founded by Jeff Lewis in 2014 with a vision of creating a profitable company by hiring excellent local craftsmen, designing and building products to exceed customers’ expectations Mr. Lewis now has over 20 years of experience as a craft beer brewer, a custom tank/vessel designer, fabrication and integration expert and business owner who initially founded Portland Kettle Works.
BrewBilt has strong relationships with suppliers of raw materials, equipment, and services globally, in addition an aggressive referral network of satisfied customers nationwide. An Advisory Board consisting of successful business leaders that provide valuable product feedback and business expertise to management. The craft brewing & spirits industries continue to grow worldwide. California is where craft brewing began and now has over 950 operating breweries – being centrally located in this booming market was a large draw for BrewBilt to locate its manufacturing facility in the Sierra foothills.
All BrewBilt products are designed and fabricated as “food grade” quality which enables the company to build vessels for food and beverage processing. BrewBilt buys materials and components mostly from suppliers which enables BrewBilt to closely monitor quality, while the company’s revenues are generated from sales to customers throughout the world a great deal of specific interest in coming from Mexico, Japan, Europe, and Australia.
In July of 2016, BrewBilt moved from the small facility in Nevada City, CA to lease an eight thousand (8,000) square foot manufacturing facility in Grass Valley, CA. This facility was purchased by BrewBilt in January 2018 and upgraded with substantial tenant improvements. BrewBilt obtains the majority of its leads through customer referrals and from online marketplaces. The company’s website has expanded to include online sales and online educational/marketing videos that feature the company and its expanded product line of brewing accessories. BrewBilt has also created distribution sales agreements with individuals and companies to represent BrewBilt in both the domestic and international markets.
Amendments to Previously Reported Annual Financial Information
The Company’s previously issued financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, as included in its Form 10-K filed on March 31, 2021, have been restated since the Company improperly classified the Series A preferred stock in permanent equity as opposed to liability pursuant to ASC 480-10-25-14(A), since the financial instrument embodies an unconditional obligation to transfer a variable number of shares and the monetary value of such obligation is based solely on a fixed amount known at inception.
Financial Statement Presentation
The audited financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Business Combinations
As per ASC 805-50 a common-control transaction does not meet the definition of a business combination because there is no change in control over the net assets. The accounting for these transactions is addressed in the “Transactions Between Entities Under Common Control”. The net assets are derecognized by the transferring entity and recognized by the receiving entity at the historical cost of the parent of the entities under common control. Any difference between the proceeds transferred or received and the carrying amounts of the net assets is recognized in equity in the transferring and receiving entities’ separate financial statements and eliminated in consolidation. The change in accounting principle is applied retroactively for all periods presented.
| F-30 |
Fiscal year end
The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported therein. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be based upon amounts that differ from these estimates.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of 90 days or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
COVID-19
The Company began seeing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business in early March 2020. The direct financial impact of the pandemic has primarily shown in significantly reduced production from the on-premises channel and higher labor and safety-related costs at the Company’s manufacturing facility. In addition to these direct financial impacts, COVID-19 related safety measures resulted in a reduction of manufacturing productivity. The Company will continue to assess and manage this situation and will provide a further update in each quarterly earnings release, to the extent that the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are then known more clearly.
Revenue Recognition and Related Allowances
The Company recognizes revenue when obligations under the terms of a contract with its customer are satisfied; generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of its products. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring products. If the conditions for revenue recognition are not met, the Company defers the revenue and related cost of sales until all conditions are met. As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has deferred $1,104,923 and $71,280, respectively, in revenue, and $880,494 and $489 in cost of sales, respectively, related to customer orders in progress. These amounts are recorded as billings in excess of revenues and earnings in excess of billings in the accompanying balance sheets.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are stated at the amount that management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Bad debts and allowances are provided based on historical experience and management’s evaluation of outstanding accounts receivable. Management evaluates past due or delinquency of accounts receivable based on the open invoices aged on due date basis. The allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 is $0.
Inventories
Inventories consist of raw materials, work in process and finished goods. Raw materials, which principally consist of raw stainless steel, raw stainless tubing, motors, pumps, and fittings, are stated at the lower of cost, determined on the first-in, first-out basis, or net realizable value. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company wrote off $39,434 and $17,246 in obsolete inventory, respectively, to the statement of operations. As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has inventory of $147,859 and $44,223, respectively.
Goodwill
The excess of the cost over the fair value of net assets of acquired in the Merger is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is not subject to amortization, but is reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. An impairment charge would be recorded to the extent the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its estimated fair value. The testing of goodwill under established guidelines for impairment requires significant use of judgment and assumptions. Changes in forecasted operations and other assumptions could materially affect the estimated fair values. Changes in business conditions could potentially require adjustments to these asset valuations.
| F-31 |
Capitalized Distribution Fees
The Company records its intangible assets at cost in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. The Company reviews the intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis or if events or changes in circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that they are impaired. These events could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, a decline in operating performance, competition, sale, or disposition of a significant portion of the business, or other factors. If the review indicates the impairment, an impairment loss would be recorded for the difference of the value recorded and the new value. For the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020, there were no impairment losses recognized for intangible assets.
Warranty
The Company is a manufacturer of products which are shipped to our customers directly from the Company. For products that are made from raw materials, the Company offers a 6-year limited warranty. The parts provided by outside vendors as finished goods that are added to a system produced by the Company as components, have a manufacturers’ warranty that is passed on to the end user of the complete system. To date, BrewBilt has spent less than $5,000 over the past 5 years for repairs (under warranty) on products they have built, with most of the costs going to cover travel and lodging expenses. As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has recorded a liability of $5,000 and $5,000, respectively, for warranties, which is included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying balance sheet.
Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses
Accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at amortized cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the fiscal year that are unpaid and arise when the Company becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity. In addition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk including our own credit risk.
In addition to defining fair value, the standard expands the disclosure requirements around fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs is expanded. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. Each fair value measurement is reported in one of the three levels, and which is determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
These levels are:
Level 1 – inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
Level 2 – inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
| F-32 |
Level 3 – inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.
Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
| Input | December 31, 2021 | December 31, 2020 | ||||||||
| Level | Fair Value | Fair Value | ||||||||
| Derivative Liability | 3 | $ | 882,706 | $ | 2,373,176 | |||||
| Total Financial Liabilities | $ | 882,706 | $ | 2,373,176 | ||||||
In management’s opinion, the fair value of convertible notes payable and advances payable is approximate to carrying value as the interest rates and other features of these instruments approximate those obtainable for similar instruments in the current market. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, exchange or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the balances reported for cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities, approximate the fair value because of their short maturities.
Debt issuance costs and debt discounts
Debt issuance costs and debt discounts are being amortized over the lives of the related financings on a basis that approximates the effective interest method. Costs and discounts are presented as a reduction of the related debt in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Income Taxes
The Company records deferred taxes in accordance with FASB ASC No. 740, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and loss carryforwards and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rules on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in operations in the year of change. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is “more likely-than-not” that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
As of the date of this filing, the Company is not current in filing their tax returns. The last return filed by the Company was December 31, 2019, and the Company has not accrued any potential penalties or interest from that period forward. The Company will need to file returns for the year ending December 31, 2021 and 2020, which is still open for examination.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
In accordance with ASC Topic 280 – “Earnings Per Share”, the basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period after giving retroactive effect to the reverse stock split affected on April 28, 2022 (see Note 17). Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Although there were new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the FASB during the year ended December 31, 2021 and through the date of filing of this report, the Company does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
| F-33 |
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has a shareholders’ deficit of $16,138,003 since its inception, working capital deficit of $3,085,906, negative cash flows from operations, and has limited business operations, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as going concern. The ability of the Company to meet its commitments as they become payable is dependent on the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing or achieving a profitable level of operations. There is no assurance the Company will be successful in achieving these goals.
The Company does not have sufficient cash to fund its desired production for the next 12 months. The Company has arranged financing and intends to utilize the cash received to cover ongoing operational expenses. The Company plans to seek additional financing if necessary, in private or public equity offering(s) to secure future funding for operations. There can be no assurance the Company will be successful in raising additional funding. If the Company is not able to secure additional funding, the implementation of the Company’s business plan will be impaired. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to the Company on acceptable terms or at all.
NOTE 3 – PREPAID EXPENSES
Prepaid fees represent amounts paid in advance for future contractual benefits to be received. Contracting expenses paid in advance are recorded as a prepaid asset and then amortized to the statements of operations when services are rendered, or over the life of the contract using the straight-line method.
As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, prepaid expenses consisted of the following:
| December 31, | ||||||||
| 2021 | 2020 | |||||||
| Prepaid insurance expenses | $ | 8,217 | $ | 3,691 | ||||
| Prepaid consulting expenses | 40,000 | — | ||||||
| Prepaid rent expense | — | 4,861 | ||||||
| $ | 48,217 | $ | 8,552 | |||||
On September 15, 2021, Bennett Buchanan was appointed to serve as a director of BrewBilt Manufacturing, Inc. In connection with Mr. Buchanan’s appointment, the Company agreed to repurchase 10,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock from Mr. Buchanan issued to him under his Consulting Agreement dated January 1, 2021, for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000, payable in five installments of $20,000 each over the six month period following his appointment as a director. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the company recorded payments of $40,000 in connection with this agreement. It has recognized $80,000 in consulting fees in 2021 and will recognize $20,000 in the first quarter of 2022.
NOTE 4 – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment consisted of the following at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020:
| December 31, | December 31, | |||||||
| 2021 | 2020 | |||||||
| Computer Equipment | $ | 23,876 | $ | 23,876 | ||||

| Less accumulated amortization | (14,198 | ) | (702 | ) | ||||
| Less accumulated depreciation | (274,447 | ) | (248,123 | ) | ||||
| $ | 249,208 | $ | 109,339 | |||||
| F-34 |
During the year ended December 31, 2021, the company recorded fixed assets additions of $276,035 and fixed asset proceeds of $90,746. Depreciation and amortization expenses of $45,420 and $40,686 were recorded to the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
NOTE 5 – LEASES
The Company adopted the new lease guidance effective January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition approach, applying the new standard to all of its leases existing at the date of initial application which is the effective date of adoption. Consequently, financial information will not be updated, and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019. We elected the package of practical expedients which permits us to not reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (3) any initial direct costs for any existing leases as of the effective date. We did not elect the hindsight practical expedient which permits entities to use hindsight in determining the lease term and assessing impairment. The adoption of the lease standard did not change our previously reported consolidated statements of operations and did not result in a cumulative catch-up adjustment to opening equity.
The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As such, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. In calculating the present value of the lease payments, the Company elected to utilize its incremental borrowing rate based on the remaining lease terms as of the January 1, 2019 adoption date.
Operating Leases
Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred, if any. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Our lease has a remaining lease term of less than 4 years.
The Company has elected the practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components as a single component. The lease expense is recognized over the expected term on a straight-line basis. Operating leases are recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets, current operating lease liabilities and non-current operating lease liabilities.
The new standard also provides practical expedients and certain exemptions for an entity’s ongoing accounting. We have elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. This means, for those leases where the initial lease term is one year or less or for which the ROU asset at inception is deemed immaterial, we will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities. Those leases are expensed on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
On January 1, 2018, the Company entered into a standard office lease for approximately 8,000 square feet of space, located in the Wolf Creek Industrial Building at 110 Spring Hill Dr. #10 Grass Valley, CA 95945. The lease has a term of 10 years, from January 1, 2018 through January 1, 2028, with a monthly rent of $4,861.
On January 1, 2020, the Company terminated the lease agreement dated January 1, 2018, and entered into a new office lease for the same space located in the Wolf Creek Industrial Building at 110 Spring Hill Dr. #10 Grass Valley, CA 95945. The lease has a term of 5 years, from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2025, with a monthly rent of $4,861.
| F-35 |
As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, ROU assets and lease liabilities related to our operating lease is as follows:
| December 31, | December 31, | |||||||
| 2021 | 2020 | |||||||
| Right-of-use assets | $ | 203,991 | $ | 246,968 | ||||
| Current operating lease liabilities | 45,970 | 42,977 | ||||||
| Non-current operating lease liabilities | 158,021 | 203,991 | ||||||
The following is a schedule, by years, of future minimum lease payments required under the operating lease:
| Years Ending | ||||
| December 31, | Operating Lease | |||
| 2022 | $ | 58,334 | ||
| 2023 | 58,334 | |||
| 2024 | 58,334 | |||
| 2025 | 58,335 | |||
| Total | 233,337 | |||
| Less imputed interest | 29,346 | |||
| Total liability | $ | 203,991 | ||
NOTE 6 – INTANGIBLES
On August 20, 2021, the company entered into an Exclusive Distribution Agreement with South Pacific Traders Oy. Pursuant to the agreement, the company will issue 50,000 Convertible Preferred Series A shares at $10 per share. South Pacific Traders will market BrewBilt Manufacturing equipment to the European Community and United Kingdom. Management determined that the 50,000 Convertible Series A Preferred to be issued as consideration for the exclusive distribution agreement is a finite-lived intangible asset and will be amortized over the five year term of the agreement. The share were issued subsequent to the reporting period and therefore recorded as convertible preferred stock payable.
NOTE 7 – ACCRUED LIABILITIES
As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, accrued liabilities were comprised of the following:
| December 31, | December 31, | |||||||

| Warranty | 5,000 | 5,000 | ||||||
| Total accrued expenses | $ | 119,090 | $ | 286,997 | ||||
NOTE 8 – BILLINGS IN EXCESS OF REVENUE AND EARNINGS IN EXCESS OF BILLINGS
Billings in excess of revenue is related to contracted amounts that have been invoiced to customers for which remaining performance obligations must be completed before the Company can recognize the revenue. Earnings in excess of billings is related to the cost of sales associated with the customer jobs that are incomplete.
| F-36 |
Changes in unearned revenue for the periods ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were as follows:
| December 31, | December 31, | |||||||
| 2021 | 2020 | |||||||
